TROY – Troy’s defense has been very sound through two games, but senior cornerback Jalen Harris knows a different test is coming this week when the Trojans visit New Mexico State in their Sun Belt Conference opener.
“They’re a pass-first offense,” Harris said, adding that practice will be crucial in Troy’s preparation. “Ninety percent of the time the ball is in the air, so we just have to come to work each day, come to practice and work on our fundamentals – getting our timing right, knocking balls down, intercepting passes. I feel like we’ll have a good game plan going into the game.
